When Peter was...I agree with you on the pain thing. When Peter was getting beat up, he seemed to feel pain, even though he had no marks after all of that b/c of the healing ability he picked up from Claire.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking EXACTLY what you thought: didn't sticking her hand in the water hurt??? <BR/><BR/>However, "Heroes" is not known for its consistency. They go more for the 'cool' scenes that will get a good gut reaction, not logic. <BR/><BR/>Did you see that this week's "Heroes" was down 15% from last week? I thought that was interesting.<BR/><BR/>The big problem for me right now is that there is not a BIG storyline driving this yet...last year was all focused on the nuclear explosion. This year seems to be a lot more stories that have no connection to each other. I'm assuming its going to be this "Heroes" virus, but I don't really know. Do you???K J Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023089365553324315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-84119608332864675002007-10-03T13:04:00.000-04:002007-10-03T13:04:00.000-04:00What about the tag team of Black Death and her twi...What about the tag team of Black Death and her twin the ever healing Aspirin? We finally see that they need to stay together or a bunch of people get off'd. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of new shows, which I wasn't... what about Pushing Daisies? I think I found my show of the season. The best quote "A hug can turn your day around, it's like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you, and they give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety comes shooting out of your mouth, and you can breathe again." I would compare this to the great Wonderfalls and pretty much all Tim Burton films with a voice-over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-2992019538851418552007-10-03T12:27:00.000-04:002007-10-03T12:27:00.000-04:00Maybe I just don't pay attention to accents in gen...Maybe I just don't pay attention to accents in general, but I didn't think the Irish accents were horrible...I mean we have the British (Kensei?), Japanese, and now Latino accents, why not attempt some Irish?<BR/><BR/>And yes I must agree that as a female viewer I was VERY distracted with Peter's shirt off, I don't recall much else about that scene :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-37424654751621770972007-10-03T08:27:00.000-04:002007-10-03T08:27:00.000-04:00Also, literary geek note: the oirish pub was calle...Also, literary geek note: the oirish pub was called "Wandering Rocks Pub" ...

One wonders about her psyche though--she's like the cutter that can't be cut.<BR/><BR/>As a comic geek, I will add that Wolverine, the most famous charater with Claire's power (as if you didn't know that much), does in fact feel pain. Even when he pops his claws.<BR/><BR/>On a related note, those where some bad@$$ scisors Claire was using if they can cut through bone (or can most scissor do this? I'm not about to experiment to find out).<BR/><BR/>Also, Mr. Muggles was really cute watching the dog show tape.<BR/><BR/>Some thoughts on Peter, did the Haitan wipe his memory? Did he get the lightning power from one of the Irish thugs, or did he absorb them before he was put in the box. Maybe he got them from Sylar (I doubt that though as if Sylar had such an offensive power we'd probably would have scene it by now).<BR/><BR/>Oh, and inside the box is a Peter's Lucky Charms.<BR/><BR/>Thought on Kensei. Is he related to Claire? And is her new friend related to Nathan? Or are these unrelated characters with the same manifestation?Brian Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850766773943226299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-48429655779909409002007-10-02T23:42:00.000-04:002007-10-02T23:42:00.000-04:00i'm still not loving it, but i liked it better tha...i'm still not loving it, but i liked it better than last week. i agree, the scene with angela shouting at matt to get out of her head was awesome.<BR/><BR/><I>The lead guy found Peter in "da turd row" last week, and now is pissed that he couldn't find his treasure in the carton.

I ...Loved it, and all for very predictable reasons. I think my favourite moment in the premiere was HRG doing the kung fu grip on his asshole manager -- totally predictable, and yet deeply satisfying. And seeing the smile on his face as he shakes hands with the Haitian was just as satisfying for reasons I haven't yet figured out. <BR/><BR/>One wonders how difficult it is to get ahold of actors with, you know, REAL Irish accents. Colin Farrell isn't working much these days, right? Or seriously, could we at least set these scenes in the port of Portland? Or San Diego? It would be less embarassing. If it were New Jersey, for that matter, I think viewers would accept the mob angle more readily, esp. if they could spring for James Galdofini to make a cameo. Peter P. saving Meadow from potential rape would certainly get the heroes on the inside track.<BR/><BR/>I chatted with some students of mine who are Heroes fans, mind you, and the female contingent noticed little else besides Peter P's bare chest. Who knew Jess was so cut?Chris in NFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064023598020493124noreply@blogger.com
